Introducing Min-Sheng General Hospital

Min-Sheng General Hospital is a 600-bed state of the art hospital located in Northern Taiwan, near the Taoyuan International Airport, and half way between the cities of Taipei and Hshin Chu that see most of the expats and business travelers in Taiwan. Since its humble beginnings as a 17-bed dispensary in 1975, Min-Sheng Hospital's Ching-Kuo campus has grown to become the flagship hospital of the Min-Sheng Group that comprises six hospitals and four long term care facilities.


Min-Sheng General Hospital specializes in minimally invasive surgeries and was one of the first hospitals in Asia to set up a center dedicated to endoscopic procedures. Min-Sheng General Hospital has close links with National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) to which it refers transplant patients, and with which it exchanges physicians for cross-training. More than eighty percent of the physicians at Min-Sheng General Hospital graduated from the prestigious university.

The current Min-Sheng General Hospital building was officially opened for service in 2001. This new building has twenty floors above ground (the elevators indicate twenty-three floors, but the fourth, ninth and thirteenth floor don't exist to reflect Chinese customs and superstitions) and seven floors underground. It has a total surface of 76000 Square Meters. On the hospital's grounds is a garden which design incorporates elements of Chinese Feng Shui such as water fountains and curved walls.

In 2006 Min-Sheng General Hospital looked to raise its international profile in order to showcase its offerings to international patients traveling abroad for surgical procedures. An international healthcare center was set up to deal with international patients and promote the hospital abroad. At about the same time, the hospital kicked off the process to obtain international accreditations and certifications. Min-Sheng General Hospital became the first hospital (2006) in Taiwan to be accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) the international arm of Joint Commission Resources, the body that accreditates hospitals in The U.S.A. The hospital has since pursued and obtained certifications for its Acute Myocardial Infarction (2008), Diabetes Mellitus Type II (2009), and Chronic Kidney Disease (2009) programs.
